I think it's a pretty great English Bitter, but you don't have to take my word for it. Here's another member actually reviewing the finished product: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8509&hilit=+review ... 85#p601467

Seymour - My recipe is quite similar - what did you carbonate it with and how much per 500ml bottle? Review sounds perfect for what I am after?

I prime the whole 5-6 gallon batch by placing 1/2 cup of white or raw cane sugar in a kettle or bottling bucket, then rack the finished beer from the fermentor into it, thus mixing it without much splashing or stirring. Then I simply fill bottles from there using a handy-dandy bottling wand connected to my racking tube. This gives me good, moderate, consistent carbonation in all my bottles, growlers, etc, regardless of size.

Yeast/Misc:
English Ale yeast, I split into two batches, one with S04, one with Gervin.

This recipe looks really delicious, too! Tell me about how the two different fermentations differed, I'm very interested.

[Underground Joe]

I've only tried the S04 so far. I brewed this to order a friend. He had a one gallon mini keg and a load of bottles from me, leaving me with about 15 S04 bottles which didn't last long and a mini keg for myself that I've put to one side for comparison later. I won't be trying the gervin one for at least a month as it has been kegged and has to wait patiently in the keg queue. I'll keep you posted.
